Cupcakes are all the rage these days, but they surely aren’t the only mini eats making waves. At www.justapinch.com we’ve flipped for some truly sweet small bites lately, and the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination!

Linda Dalton of Stoughton, Mass. is the perfect example of a cook with an eye for cute creations. Her Mini Cream-Filled Delights are one of our favorite recent finds, and were developed after Linda was taken by another recipe on Just A Pinch!

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but bananas were always what kept us kids coming back for more! Mom would buy them by the bunches to keep us in the yellow. In fact, I never saw a brown banana until I was an adult...because us kids would gobble them up as soon as she brought them home!
Well, it seems that I’m not alone in my fruit fancying.
“I’ve got two favorite ingredients – bananas and peanut butter,” says home cook Lorie Roach on www.justapinch.com.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for... CHOCOLATE! Every day keeps getting sweeter around here in the test kitchen as we taste and sample our way through the yummy chocolate confections you’re serving up.

When Zan Garris Raymond found out “Antiques Roadshow” was taping in Atlanta, Ga., she gathered several pieces from her collection of Catawba Indian pottery and set out with her husband for the series taping.
“I’ve always been a fan of ‘Roadshow,’” Raymond said. “It was a fun experience. I had no clue if I’d be on TV.”

PAGELAND – Every Thursday night in June the lights went up on Watermelon Idol, Pageland’s annual music competition. Present each night of the event was Emily Moody, 18, of Lancaster.
Moody is the daughter of Melanie Vaughn and Fred Moody Jr. and began competing in pageants as a young girl, before taking time off.
“At one point I was just like I don’t want to do this anymore, so I stopped and just restarted in the last year,” Moody said.
